Database became suspect while logshipping and adding a datafile

Hello,
We do loshipping between two servers. Our database in primary server
grew, so we had to add a datafile to the primary database. However, we missed
a point. The directory, in which we created a datafile at primary site does
not exist
in the standby site. As another saying, we forgot to create the directory at
standby
site before adding the datafile to primary site. Now, the standby database
is in suspect mode, and we can not do anything. We tried sp_resetstatus,
creating the directory, and recovering the database again but nothing
changes, however the database becomes suspect again immediately, when we try
to restore the log. Please help.......Erdinc,
Do a full backup on the primary server and restore that over your DR.
Make sure your path names are the same. Then continue as normal.

a full
restore?
